Re: [cam] Groups - Comments on OASIS.doc uploaded

Martin,

Thanks for taking the time to provide all this.

Having quickly reviewed it I see two basic buckets -
one relating to the Introduction - and I'm seeing the
best there is to simply move all that text out to
"brochureware" as you suggested.

On technical notes - I've not seen anything
immediately a major issue - most seem to
be cleanup between implementation details
in jCAM and the older 014 (-) versions of
the spec'.

I'll go thru each item in detail over the weekend
and post the responses Monday - and then
we can iterate back around and you can indicate
concur, or respond with further action(s).

Thanks, DW.

p.s. BTW - the datatype() can be handled as the
       equivalent as:setmask('sXn') i.e. picture mask
       but of artibary length (unless you have a set length),
       this allows you to use your existing mask processing
       code to handle datatype() - in effect the datatype is
       a shorthand for picture mask...
